1. Introduction

People who use Microsoft® Windows® can also join the Fedora translation team and work with people around the world. To participate, you need several tools:

  • A web browser that supports cookies

  • A Concurrent Versions System (CVS) client. This article uses TortoiseCVS.

  • An editor for .po files. This article uses poEdit.

  • A Secure Shell (ssh) client. This article uses puttygen, a free utility that generates a personalized digital ID using a public key infrastructure. This utility is bundled within TortoiseCVS.

This article shows you where to find and download these tools, how to install and configure them, and how to use them.
